The 1996 North Dakota Democratic presidential primary was held on February 27, 1996, in North Dakota as one of the Democratic Party's statewide nomination contests ahead of the 1996 presidential election. Incumbent President Bill Clinton did not appear on the ballot allowing for a minor candidate, Roland Riemers, to win the primary.[1]
Clinton refused to contest the election due to the North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League violating national party rules by holding its presidential primary too early and allowing non-Democrats to vote in that Primary.[2]
